F is a bracket or shelf for supporting a kneading roller and other articles. Gis a hinged doughkneading board, which is supported by hinged bars G', having slots b in their free ends, through Which pass screw-bolts that clamp them against the sides of the safe. These bars serve to adjust the board G at various angles to the front of the safe, thereby adapting it for convenient use. To the above-described parts We make no claim.

We provide the top of the safe A with a hinged lid, B, which forms the cover ofthe conical hopper C. Thelatteris designed to be a permanent receptacle for Hour or meal, and has a sieve or sifter, D, applied or attached to its apex in such a manner as to be readily detached for cleaning, Snc.
